Absolutely brilliant

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I make a minor hobby out of finding bad films that are based on clever ideas. Oddly, soft core has many of these. I suppose it is because the genre supports many folks who have talent and are "just waiting." Gary Graver is an interesting case, someone who worked with Orson Welles when he really was trying to do something cool. So cool in fact it was probably impossible and certainly beyond what an audience could read anyway.Here we have the standards: fake sex, fake boobs, fake acting and all. But we have a character that looks like Orson. And we have a Wellesian construction: a fabricated circumstance for amusement about a fabricated circumstance for amusement. Both are combined with caprice. The Welles character is the driver of events but in a twist we discover he really works for the viewer-voyeur. And then, and then, in the final analysis we have the result as an idea for a film, presumably the film we see. And around we go.I wish I could say that the cinematography was as intelligently rooted. But we do have some competent conscious-shifting: a gravel-sweep to the right but with an annoying sound rather like canvas bags pushed on sandy concrete.Ted's Evaluation -- 2 of 4: Has some interesting elements.

Any time a film or show takes place in Las Vegas, it gets extra points from me. Las Vegas the city steals the show because it is a truly glamorous place to behold. It's also the setting for this low budget spin on the film Robert Redford wished he'd never have been in, Indecent Proposal.Tim Abell and Gabriella Hall play a married couple from L.A. who frequent Vegas often. Apparently, they've never had much luck, but they survive. One day, a script that Jed Wills had written and was expecting to be paid for is cancelled, and they are broke. Then a friend offers to let them into a safe bet to double their money in a horse bet, they decide to bet money (even increasing the bet) they don't have, thinking it's a sure thing, but they lose, and now they need to find the money or there's going to be trouble. They somehow get a cash advance and try to play roulette for the money, but it fails. Then Jed meets up with a mysterious woman played by Tane McClure who promises to cover their bet if he does some things for him, and that's when the movie becomes just like Indecent Proposal.The acting is here is pretty good for a drama, but the sex scenes aren't very good. Tane McClure did tighten her buns, but she's pretty stiff. As for Gabriella Hall, she was alright, but she's nothing mind-blowing, although I did like her in Centerfold. Tim Abell has an attitude throughout the film. I did love the twists and turns, and especially the ending, though. I was cheering for it. The reason I liked this film was Vegas. The mindblowing scenery just makes me want to return there and walk in the neon glow.

Gabriella Hall and Tracey Warfel (Playboy's _Blondes, Brunettes, Redheads_ 1997) are both beautiful. Hall can act, Warfel doesn't really get a chance. Unfortunately, Tane McClure has the female lead in this picture.There's nobody to like or feel sorry for in this picture. Everybody's mean to everybody else. Warfel has one good scene.If you don't try to guess it, the ending might surprise you. I guess that makes it a mystery. There are some sex scenes, but they're short and not particularly thrilling.

As standard direct-to-video erotica goes, this film isn't bad, but remember, these films aren't about the plot or the acting, but about the flesh. Let's face it, if you're truly looking for a good movie, then you KNOW from the title that this isn't likely to be the answer. So a movie like this comes down to what you think of the appearance of the female leads (sexist, but true). For me, Tane McClure looked old and tired and plastic, just like she always does. But Gabriella Hall made the movie bearable, for she is simply drop-dead gorgeous, with a stunning body and a face to match. I'd apologize for the superficial review, but that's what these movies are all about. They're all about liking what you see, since the writing is rarely good enough for you to like what you hear.
